Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's memories abruptly ended there. Seeing someone's figure looming in the distance, Gao Zhun naturally knew why, but she still mischievously asked, "And then?"

"Then we fought and were both seriously injured, but we didn't die. We were rescued by our respective factions and taken back to our base camps. We met again on the day of the Giant Spirit Platform. So, Lord Gao Zhun, are you satisfied with the way Xuan Yuan Huan Yu and I met?"

After Gao Zhun finished asking his question, Mo Ni Chang had already returned with a full load of information. She appeared in front of Gao Zhun in a flash and answered the question that clearly showed a gossipy tone before Xuan Yuan Huan Yu could answer it.

"Xuanyuan Huanyu, you woman, why do you have to tell this kid about such things?"

Caught off guard, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu received a vicious telepathic message from Mo Ni Chang. She didn't understand why the other party seemed to be in a bad mood.

Nonsense! This first meeting was exclusively between the two of them, and she absolutely didn't want to share it with a third person. This woman, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu, is simply, simply, simply defeated by her!

"Eh? It started strong but ended weakly, how boring." Gao Zhun pouted and complained, but the two beauties in front of him had no intention of satisfying his interest. Instead, they began to communicate telepathically as if no one else was around.

"Xiao Zhun is my cousin, she's a girl, don't always call her 'boy'." Xuan Yuan Huan Yu lived up to Mo Ni Chang's expectations, focusing on the wrong point without any bias.

“I know that boy is a girl, you don’t need to remind me, but look at her, what about her looks like a girl? Calling her boy is the most correct way to address her, isn’t it?” Hmm, it seems that Mo Nishang’s focus has been successfully swayed by Xuan Yuan Huanyu.

Now Xuanyuan Huanyu didn't know how to answer. She had previously fought and killed without any mental qualms, so what was wrong with her now? This feeling of helplessness…

I secretly glanced at the person sitting on the ground, completely unconcerned about being covered in dust. It seemed that they were unable to refute what the other person had said.

Gao Zhun, already annoyed by being ignored by the two, exploded the moment she saw Xuan Yuan Huan Yu glance at her seemingly casually: "Weren't you two showing off your love over there? Why does it seem like you're discussing something related to me?!"

Xuan Yuan Huan Yu gave Mo Ni Chang a "I can't answer" look, then looked up at the sky, reverting to his cold and aloof image as the Xuan Yuan family's super genius.

Having successfully taken the blame, Mo Nishang merely glanced at Gao Zhun indifferently, lightly flicking the storage ring on her left pinky finger with her right hand, and said in a completely flat tone, "Wasn't Lord Gao Zhun's stomach growling with hunger just now? Now you sound so energetic, it seems you've already eaten your fill sometime ago? In that case, I don't need to lower myself to be a chef, do I?"

That was a fatal blow! Gao Zhun's already weak and imposing aura instantly deflated, and he said with a fawning expression, "That wasn't because I was full of energy just now, it was because I was too hungry and that made me irritable. Women, you know, always have all sorts of reasons for being irritable, don't they?"

"A woman?" Mo Nishang glanced at Gao Zhun with a mocking look, especially taking a few deep breaths at his flat chest. She wondered how Gao Zhun would react if he knew that she and Xuan Yuan Huanyu had just been criticizing his behavior as completely unlike that of a woman.

However, it's best to stop now. After all, her relationship with Gao Zhun isn't good enough for her to joke around or upset him at will. Besides, she hurt him first, so she should just focus on fulfilling her duties as a chef.

'I never expected that the fifth princess of the demon race could actually cook.'

Watching Mo Nishang skillfully skin and gut her prey, then set up a fire to roast it, occasionally sprinkling it with pre-prepared seasonings, as if she had done this many times before, Gao Zhun and Xuan Yuan Huanyu felt that the scene was very dreamlike. Uh, could it be that the two of them had stumbled into the dream of some audacious person?

It's surprising that the illusionary witch Mo Nishang is actually quite skilled at cooking and starting fires; the person who had that dream is truly audacious.

"Heh, don't think that just because I have my back to you I don't know what rude things you're thinking about me."

The sudden sound from the 'cook' startled Gao Zhun, while Xuan Yuan Huan Yu reacted much calmer. The former gave the latter a resentful look, wondering when she could be as composed as Xuan Yuan Huan Yu.

She must have some talent in this area, after all, her mother and Xuanyuan Huanyu's father were siblings, so her body should have those genes.

"Although I've been fasting for a long time, I still know how to find things to do when I often have to go on missions alone, like this." As she spoke, Mo Nishang placed a portion of the roasted meat in front of Gao Zhun and Xuan Yuan Huanyu, of course giving Xuan Yuan Huanyu his portion first.

"The meat seems pretty good. After all, we're surrounded by unknown creatures that lived in ancient times. I don't know what kind of meat this is, but it's definitely not poisonous."

"I got a share too?" Xuan Yuan Huan Yu looked at the portion that Mo Ni Chang had offered her. Although the smell was very tempting, she hadn't eaten for a long time. For the Xuan Yuan clan, eating was the most meaningless thing to give up. So once the clan members passed the fasting period, they completely abandoned eating, unless there was a grand celebration in the clan.

Therefore, Mo Nishang felt a strong urge to refuse at this moment—the habit that her father had instilled in her for nearly twenty years was now corroding her nerves. She was about to say the words, but swallowed them when she saw the look in the other person's eyes that awaited her evaluation.

With her cherry lips slightly parted, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu, who had almost forgotten the taste of food, gently tore off a piece of the roasted meat that Mo Ni Chang handed her. It was fragrant, tender, and smooth, with an excellent taste. That was her first reaction.

"My God, what kind of meat is this? It's so delicious! Before I leave, I must hunt down a few thousand of them and take them with me to my storage ring," Gao Zhun exclaimed happily.

Xuan Yuan Huan Yu, who was eating meat, paused, and covered his face inwardly at the thought that he had just had a similar idea.

Completely ignored for her contribution, Mo Nishang said indignantly, "Hey, show some respect for me as the head chef! Without my processing, even dragon meat would just taste fishy and pungent if eaten raw, okay?"

"It's delicious, your cooking is really good."

It was Xuanyuan Huanyu who spoke. As if possessed, the words of praise she had prepared under the other party's hopeful gaze suddenly slipped out. When she heard her own voice uttering words that felt so unfamiliar to her, she froze. How could she have said such a thing?

As if seeing the look of disappointment on her father's face, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu turned deathly pale. She shouldn't have praised Mo Ni Chang's cooking skills, and she shouldn't have peacefully coexisted and become friends with Xuan Yuan Huan Yu, who was born into the demon race. Her father, who was so strict with her, would definitely be disappointed in her...

However, she only indulged herself once, just once. Her father wasn't there, and no one else from the Xuanyuan family was present. She treated it as a temporary measure. Once the secret realm was revealed, she would still be Xuanyuan Huanyu, and her opponent would still be Mo Nishang. They would still be natural enemies, just like when they first met, when they fought each other without mercy. From then on, their fate would only be the same...

I can't think about it anymore.

Xuanyuan Huanyu's greatest skill is not actually hiding himself, but forcing himself not to think too deeply, like a mindless puppet. That's why he can not investigate Xuanyuan Hao's actions, and that's why he can become the most outstanding super genius in the family in nearly a thousand years, isn't that right?

Therefore, the deathly pale face only appeared on her face for a moment before disappearing, so quickly that neither Mo Nishang nor Gao Zhun noticed it before it vanished. Isn't this what Xuan Yuan Huan Yu is best at?

Upon receiving Xuan Yuan Huan Yu's praise, Mo Ni Chang's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Hehe, I'm glad you like it."

Gao Zhun's inner thoughts at this moment: Look at this stench of love! It's so pitiful for me, a single teenager. There's no Single Dog Protection Association or sunglasses in this world. It really makes me feel deeply sad.

A quarter of an hour later, Xuan Yuan Huan Yu and Mo Ni Chang quickly extinguished the fire that had been lit nearby. Xuan Yuan Huan Yu took out a portable hut from his storage ring: "We'll spend the night in this hut. It's much safer and more comfortable than sleeping in the open."

Gao Zhun's eyes lit up as he looked at the portable hut that Xuan Yuan Huan Yu had taken out; his eyes were practically screaming "money-grubber."

It's no wonder Gao Zhun had that expression. The Xuanyuan family and the Gao family are similar in many ways. For example, their resource allocation is limited to providing the necessities for daily cultivation. Everything else must be exchanged for points or battle records. As for the points or battle records required to exchange for a portable house, they are an astronomical figure for Gao Zhun, whose points and battle records are currently zero. Moreover, if she cannot leave this secret realm, then this zero will accompany her for the rest of her life...

This is really a sad story.

"It seems the Xuanyuan family really values ​​you. This must be the Xuanyuan family's reward for your awakening of the Emperor's True Eye on your own. After all, at your age and cultivation level, you could never have obtained so many points and achievements, even though you seriously injured me during that great battle."

After all, it wasn't just Xuan Yuan Huan Yu who seriously injured Mo Ni Chang; Mo Ni Chang also seriously injured Xuan Yuan Huan Yu. Therefore, she knew very well what the rewards for that battle would amount to—they were simply not enough to exchange for a portable hut.
